Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Concept
Pneumonia can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria like Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).
Step 2: Meaning
Vaccines are biological preparations that provide acquired active immunity to a particular infectious disease.
Step 3: Analysis
Rota vaccine is for rotavirus (diarrhea); BCG is for tuberculosis; Dukoral is for cholera. The Hib vaccine protects against Hib bacteria, which is a major cause of bacterial pneumonia and meningitis in children.
Step 4: Conclusion
